Comments

All on board happy and well. The weather has been very kind to us. Day 2 COVID testing completed; await results. XBT deployed as per plan. This afternoon the emergency management team will meet for standard briefing and we'll complete the environmental induction for all. The development of the resupply ops plan is ongoing. The big news: the xmas tree goes up this arvo.

ETA estimates remain unchanged. We will likely be in the whale mooring location on the morning of the 20th Dec. The weather still holding, we'll collect the buoy and deploy its replacement. This gives us an ETA at Casey morning of the 21st Dec.

Regards

Keith and Nick
